Disappointed
I have disappointed everyone
Who believed in me
From the first day of school
Until my last breath
Teachers tried to teach me
But I just could not learn
The harder they tried
The less I learned
I disappointed them
My mother tried every day
But gave up on me
Telling me all that I needed to know
Was how to sign my name
I disappointed her
My father kept my country free
And stayed away from me
I must have
Disappointed him
I hid it from my friends
Most could not tell
That I did not know
My left from my right
But when we played
I did not know which way to turn
I disappointed them
My lovers I did not tell
That I could not read
The love letters they sent
I disappointed them
When I met my true love
It scared me to let her know
That I would never be
What she wanted me to be
I disappointed her
Now I’m growing old and sometimes
Cannot even spell my name
I’ve disappointed myself
At the end of my time
Will I disappoint Him
Or will He smile
And say, “I understand”
“You are home at last"
"Never to disappoint again”
